      | did u mean something like HDR??? I used the flash method didnt come out as what i wanted to or at least seen on the internet but it did look a lot better than the way i was doing it by increasing the exposure time Canon 5d with 24-105mm and a Canon 28-135mm which stays in the bag all the time. Canon 50mm F1.4 PRIME
